Dutch Eagle

Qualifying round draw (games to be played 23?28 August) Group 1: Apollon (CYP)*, PAOK (GRE), KI Klaksvik (FRO), Hajvalia (KOS) *hosts The nine group winners advance to join the 23 teams given byes to the round of 32.

25-year old CB Lukas Rotpuller from Austria Vienna is linked to us. He has played 101 for Austria and is a former youth-international of (the real) Austria.

Colombia - Chile 0-2. So this means Argentina and Chile meet again in the final just like last year and just like their openingmatch in their group. I hope Messi and companeros win the Copa. A player of his size needs a big trophy.

On former PAOKtzis with a future former PAOKtzis at the EURO 2016:

Finally some news about the kits for the new season. According to inpaok.com the military outfit is exit. The 3 kits will be our black and white rige, the retro shirt and a beautiful white.

APOEL will start with an awaygame in Q2 of this years CL against the winner of The New Saints (Wales)/Tre Penne (San Marino). Games to be played July 12 or 13 and July 19 or 20.

Q1: AEK Larnaca - SS Folgore (San Marino) on June 30th and July 7th Q2: winner FC Differdange 03 (Luxemburg) - Cliftonville FC (Northern Ireland) vs hopefully AEK on July 14th and July 21st

Q1: FC Banants (Armenia) - Omonoia on June 30th and July 7th Q2: winner of FK Sloboda Tuzla (Bosnia) - Beitar Jerusalem (Israel) vs hopefully Omonoia on July 14th and 21st

The draw for EL Q1 and Q2 was held today. PAS will face the winner of Odds BK (Norway) against IFK Mariehamn (Finland) on July 14th and 21st in Q2. PAS will start with a home game. Q3 must be possible by strenght. The fact that those Scandinavian countries are in the middle of the season and PAS in preseason could be a big disadvantage.

Pash, As Russia is automatically qualified for WC2018 they were supposed to play friendlies against countries from groups with an odd number of teams. Like France did last years against the countries from the group of Serbia and Albania. But as Gibraltar was added the friendly against Russia had to be cancelled.

Argentina - Venezuela 4-1 Semis: June 21: USA - Argentina in Houston June 22: Colombia - Chile in Chicago

Vieirinha again in the starting 11 vs Austria. As RB. Did not like it against Iceland. He is of more value elsewhere on the pitch.

You did not play tavli with him, Pana! So it's Mr. Pereyra for you.

Asteras Tripolis signed 22year old French defender Sonhy Sefil from French second division side Auxerre. He is a big guy (1.94 m.) and is able to score now and then.

Ethnikara, You're right. Was reading it on gazetta.gr and wanted to post it and got sticked on the Atromitos thread and got confused.

22 year old Slovenian striker Gregor Bajde is offered to us. Should cost us somewhere between 1,0 and 1,4 mil euro. Has scored 13 times in 27 league games this year for Maribor.

Atromitos signed 22year old French defender Sonhy Sefil from French second division side Auxerre. He is a big guy (1.94 m.) and is able to score now and then.

Djalma Campos will be the 29th African player for PAOK. Here is the list (in Greek):

Panagiotis Stathakis and Rafail Melissopoulos from the youth academy will sign their first contract as professional soccer players. They have chosen to wear #14 (PS) and #97 (RM).

Aristotelis Karasalidis will sign a 2+1-year contract at Xanthi. The 25-year old midfielder comes from Iraklis.

We are very interested in CB Juan Cala (official name Juan Torres Ruiz) of Getafe. He is 26 and originates from the youth academy of Sevilla. He played for six months at AEK in the 2011/2012 season. I see a lot of the Primera Division, but I don't know him to be honest.
